I just filed an RM bug for ldm (as I had just released the DSA for it and better to get it removed than spending another sid upload on it :) Cheers, Moritz

Bug#944565: O: ldm -- LTSP display manager
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the ldm package. Newer versions of LTSP no longer make use of LDM; it is no longer maintained upstream. Marking it as orphaned for now just in case someone wants to maintain the legacy LTSP 5.x and they could adopt this component. If nobody wants to adopt it, it should probably be removed from the archive instead of landing in the next stable release. The package description is: ldm is an X11 display manager similar to xdm, gdm and kdm, but unlike those it wraps the X11 traffic within an SSH tunnel to provide a secure login mechanism for remote X sessions. . LTSP stands for 'Linux Terminal Server Project'. live well, vagrant signature.asc Description: PGP signature
